In the wake of Renee Good’s death at the hands of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7, many have taken the opportunity to join protests and rallies, expressing their condemnation of the actions of masked immigration enforcement agents across the country.

Last week communities across Colorado took to the streets in shock, grief, and outrage over the shooting of Renee Good by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Officer Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

The Baptiste Group, a Georgia-based company that provides disaster remediation, shelter, social services, and other emergency relief services, is one of the companies proposing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Colorado Springs, according to documents released by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) earlier this month. The Baptiste Group ran an emergency shelter for unaccompanied migrant minors in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which lost its license following allegations of sexual misconduct involving three staffers and several teens in 2021. A review of the ACLU documents also shows that The Baptiste Group misrepresented the condition of the Colorado Springs property in its communications to the Department of Homeland Security.
